A very interesting post, Paul. Our members in the EEUU who wish to explore the properties of spelt versus wheat flour can purchase some (both white spelt flour and whole grain spelt flour) from http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/detail.jsp?id=3452. I may translate some of the recipes at the link you provided and post them in our recipes section.

Here is a brief etymology on ‘spelter’ from Wikipedia:

“.... In Italy both emmer wheat and spelt are known as farro, although emmer is more common in Italy. ...”
